The global export of slates and boards with writing or drawing surfaces is dominated by China, which contributes over 65% of the total volume. Notable year-on-year variations show growth for countries like Indonesia and Portugal, while exports from Denmark and Belgium decreased. Other significant exporters include the Netherlands, Poland, and Germany, with each holding a modest share. Over the past five years, the average annual growth rate for this sector has been positively skewed by emerging markets diversifying their portfolios and increasing their capacities. However, some European countries have seen a reduction in their export shares, attributed to shifting market dynamics and competitive pressures.
Future trends to watch include:
- The increasing shift towards digitalization may affect demand, particularly from tech-savvy markets.
- Emerging economies such as Indonesia are expected to continue expanding their export contributions.
- China’s dominance is likely to persist, but fluctuations in global trade policies could impact its market share.
- Environmental sustainability trends may influence the material composition and sourcing, affecting production and export strategies globally.
